I'm on fire!

-Lake Michigan via Chicago, Illinois

THIS is what I love to photograph. THISis what I'm good at. I very rarely advertise family portraits because although I don't mind taking photos for people when they seek me out, I want to be remembered for my visual art. Does that make sense? THISis what fuels me. THISis who I am. THISis Ms. Ruin. ::leaves heart on the floor:: ♥

::cough:: Now that I've got that out of my system. Here are some other photographic highlights from my trip to The Windy City in October. I still have a bunch more to sort through plus some really cool pics of a fantastic lighthouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin on the banks of Lake Michigan. Talk about brrrrrrrr! For now, enjoy these...

The world famous Chicago Theater

--------------------------

Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier --yes, I did ride!

Lighthouse at Navy Pier on the banks of both the Chicago River and Lake Michigan

--------------------------

Hillside, Illinois --the final resting place of Al Capone.

Lots of old and beautiful monuments in this gorgeous cemetery.

--------------------------

Does this one really need a caption? Okay, fine. This is Cloud Gate at Millenium Park. Affectionately known as The Bean. "Sonia, you gotta go see the bean!!"

--------------------------

I love this one. Believe it or not, it's probably a favorite. I'm strange that way.

--------------------------

Currently the tallest building in the world --Willis Tower. Formerly knows as The Sears Tower. Yes, went up to the very top of this one too. Want to see those pics? Stay tuned!

--------------------------

If you enjoyed these photos, don't forget that you can repin all of my work to your boards on Pinterest! Happy Pinning. :)
